F.LLOW-CITJZENS :- am before you as a candidate to represent you in the House (f 'Represitativo of the lInited States-Congress, and do most earnestly and respectfully solicit your votes and suppoi t, at the onsuing olec tion in October. I fully realize the rotponsibility which attac'hoi to the trut whidih I seok at your hands, but 'if yon elect ne, T w-l bring to the d'ischarge of my duties as a public servant, all the honesty industry and -ability that I pos(es.q. I ami, follow citizenls, a native of South Carolina, and was born in G ro3nville. My grandfather and father were also citi zensof the samne Slate, and reared large families in G recnville. I am devotedly ttached to the land of my tirth, and have long since resolved cone weal or come woe, to live and die upon my native soil. I love the people of South Carolina, and for their welfare and happiness, and for the promotion of their best interests, am I ready to spend and be spcnt. .lu every respoot therefore aut I iden tiled with South (Jarolina-in lecling, in interest, and by birth. I am like. wise, my follow-citizens, devotedly at. tuched to the Constitution of the Uni. ted States, and the Union of the States therounder. I n as loyal to th Iinion as any ani in Ameurica, whether lie lives in the North or the South. [ am ready and willing to sipoirt protect and dofend the Con stitution of the Ifuion, and laws made ink pursunanco thereof, as the supreme law of the land. For !n the support of the Union and the C(cnstitution of the Untited States, and in the main tenance or the rights of the States under that Constitution, can we alone becooi prosperous and happy. As was annotinced to you, when I first becane a candidate for the posi tion I atk of you, mly rrinciplos poli. tically aro Democra ti. 'rThey are fixed and well delined-and he who rit1 tay road. I am a Democrat in polities because I believe and alway lMe believed, that the safety of thib Union and the preservation of consti tutional liberty in this country do pornided tipon the adoption, by the pople of the Uniited States, of Demto. oratic principles, and the enforcement of those principles in the administra tion of the government of the United Slates. The principles of the Domo eratio party lie deeply imbedded in Constitution of the Union, as was de clared by Thomas Jefferson, the foiuder of the honocratic party, and the great oxpoulnder of tile Const-itu. tion. The principlos of the homo. eratic party are iiniortal. Ilence the Democratio party ink thie United St tes and in Sout h Carolina is the only party that will survive the~ passion and purejudiec of thbe hour. It is the only pa rty wh ich figh ts for the truth ias it is found in the tConsti. tution oft ho lienited States. All the evilIs whiioh thIe State andl thle South. ornt States, anid i may say the whole lUnion, arc enidurinig to-day are the re suIts of a departuro by the people of the (United States frotm the principles of' the Demnocratic party, namely, the Supremany of the Contstitution of the Utnited St ates, and laws moade in pur Stnanee thereof, and thle mnaintenance of the Rights of the States guuaran teed by that Uonstitution. This is the foundation and corner stone of the D)emocratic party. These, fellow eltizens, are my principles anud I can not abandon them (Gomie what maty I eanniot foisake the truth, arid I do not believe the good citizens of lFair fild will do so either. "Truth is mighty and will prevail." "T1he gates of hll shatll not prevail against it. The ConstituIitinof my coutntry must be preserved I The Deomocra tic p arty is its guat dian, aind, thorofore, I am, amid ever have beeni a Democrat. Again, fellow-oitizens, 1 amn an invet. erato, and an avowed and ana uncoim promising enemy to1i1adici.lism where ever it exists, but especially to Rad(i ealism i'i South Carolina. From Al pha to Omega amy principles are dia moetrically opposed to the dootrines of the Radical party, and to the unisorua pullous assumptions and1 falsehoods of the Radioal party ini this State. Being an enemy of' the radical party 1 do. sire to fight it with vigor and suessa. I desire to deal with it with gloves off, for only in this way can it he defeat. ed. In the language of the Richmnond Daily Enguircr, I declare that the .Detmocratio party is the only existing organization, and the only organiua tion likely to exist for somte years that will oppose with efficiency the Radi cal party. Thoto who really wish to oppose the Radicals with efficiency htave no ether place to wbioh they can, go. It is folly, or worse, to play on a pr-ejudioc founded on ante-war opposi tion to the D~emoeratio party, to juasti. fy opposition to it or a delusive nou trality. Tihere is net, and there never has been, any party to which some ob j notion cannot be made. The quies. tioni is which lh to be preferred. We take it for granted that the great mass of the whIte monn of South Carolina no0w jrefer the Demooratio patty to the JRadioal party. Fay, miore,that every jyhito man In acaugh Ca'roflna ii en enmy to lIddioallsm, save those who haave sold themselves for money, ~or ao we serianaly doubt that a la 'nlass of the inoro intelligent and cul tivated colorod people will como to prefer the same party. Let the or ganiztiun of this illustrious party whose history is identified with the history of the country from the fouu. dation of the present system of gov ernment, be strengtheuod and made ready for action at once. Delay is hazardouq to say the least. The ene my is in the field gaining present ad. vantages, and huoyaut with hope for the future. Our men must not sit idle and alarmed spoectators of the un scrupulous action of an inveterate ad versary who has to be fought. Fellow citizens, of Fairfiold, I would, therefore, recommend to you the im portanco of at once t:'king active steps to save yourr elves from bankruptcy, ruin, degradation and tyranny. You do not know what suooess awaits you if you will only make an honest effort for truth and justice. Let every town ship In F'airfield organize itself into a Democratic Club. Let every true man join it, and labor earnestly for the party, and the County, and the State, and I believe you will defeat the Radicals in Fairfield. Let every true man stand shoulder to shoulder in the contest, and on the third Ved oesday in October noxt we will get rid of those posts to our country-the radical emissaries of R. K. Scott & Co. in conclusion allow me, fellow. citizonS, to say to you that I have just returned from Washington City, the Capital of the United States. I have seen persons from every section of the country, and radicalism will soon be a thing of the past throughout thit broad land. Its days are numbered not only in South Carolina but throughout the Union. Tho Demo oratic party at the North isi growing and incroasing in power and strength every day. Now York State has re eently gone Democratic Iy eighty seven, thousand majority. Oregon has elected a Democratic Governor, and will send two Democratic Senators to the U. S. Senate. Theio are now ten or twelve Democratic Sonators in the Senate of the United States, and be. tween fifty and sixty Democratie members in the House of Represeinta tives. These Democratic Senatois and Representatives are battling man fully for the South and the whole country, and they desire you, follow citizens of Fairfield, as they desire the wholo South, to co-oporate with thein, this iall, and we will not only ocntr, 1 Congress in 1871, but we will in 1872 elect a Denocratic President. Let us all stand unired, and rally around the Domooratic flag-a flag which has stood nearly a hundred years, the bat. tio and the breezo, and which will wave forever. The Democratic party is immortal. Tt will never dio-no never I Respectfully your ob't sorv't And fellow.citiz-nt, EDWARD F. SI'OKES. W.INNSBORO. Wednesday Morning.

FOR LIEUTENANT-GOvER~Non, Onll for a F'ourntln Congrem~lua ul District Nounuinatting Coin veni loin. We earnestly urge upon nll those citizens of every County of thre Fourth Uongressional District who are not ini slavery to tihe Union Lengue, to meet on the first Monday of August next, at their respootive Court ilouses, and appoint delegates to a Convention to nominate a Candidate for Congressi to be held, on the Thursday nright following, in the city of Columbia, and not, as has been suggested, at Greenville. Columbia, though not in the Fourth Congressional District, is accessible by Railroad in one day, and at half the expense. f otm every Coun ty in It. If the Convention be held in Columbia, therefore, it will perhaps be more largely attended, and will more fairly represent the District. A full attendance is greatly to be dlesir ed. Let its hear then from the Coun ties, whether they prefer Columbia or Greenville, through the press, and then through the IExecutive Commit tee of the Union Reform party. Tine Daily Reaulican Carries tine Day. For some time past the Charleston Netos and Daily Repubhecan have been strenuously striving to out-lie one another, while we plain country folks have stood by chuckling with amuse tment, or with eyes open and mouth agape in surprise and astonishment. It is about time, however, for us to step in, with the hope of meriting a beatitude by quoting the words of the gentleman whose administration we are wiing-to support: "Let us have peace." It is usoless for the New.s to contest the palm any longer, After a calm, deliberate and phllomso. phical survey of thme fields of' ope rations and of the merits of the contest, our conselenceocompels us t aoknowled1ge, much against our feel: inge, that the Yankee paper uiow In the art of lying thiol:, that some may btiok. The New, may as well give it up, aRnd fall back into line with its coteinporariee, who think it far more effotive taetics to abandon lying to the other side, and fight with the panoply of truth. The idea of trying to out-lie Yankees, who have sucked it in with their mother's milk,'wbo have ben educated to it in childhood, and who live by it iniiisture age, ar.d with whom it is such a second or rather ihst nature that they often do not even know when they.are lying, would never have entered the brain of a na tive South Carolinian. We at least ate well acquainted with that VENAL IEY PocRit y, which brought on the late war, and vhich, led the hireling Northern horde, "with the trumpet of philanthropy to their glosiig mouths and singing psalms through their noses, to sweep down upon us, with ber. ried bayonets, to seal the ruin and desolation of the South." Two Eye-Opcmers. Our colored follow.citizens, if they will open their eyes, can see their cer tain fate before them, if they eontin ue to refuse to unite in political har mony with the whites of the South, by reflecting on the two recent votes of tho Republican party in Congress; first, the vote for the eonteniptuous rejection of Whittemoro, their eho-en Represontativo by an eight thousand majorit.y; and secondly, the vote of the United States Sennte, by two to one, on the retention of the word "white" in the naturalization law, thus going back on their own record, and making a plain distinction on ac count of color, race and previous con dition. 1. The Northern whites aro not go ing to respect the ntgroes, if they have nobody else to champion their cause but such political adventurers as Whittemore. They will treat them with injustice and contempt. Noth ing can prevent this but, their making comnion canse in behalf of the South with the Southern whites, who are their natural counsellors and friends, who, if trusted, will prove their pow erful champiouis and advocates, when the haud of unjust taxation is extend od, as it soon will be, to reduce them to sectional bondage, by political op prossion far more ruinous than their farmer slavery. The selfishness of man is the piiniple on which wo base this opinion-tho selfishness .f the Yankeo in tr3ing to work the no gro voter for purposes of political and pecuniary gain, and the self-interest of the Southern white man prompt ing him to protect the negro, because, by so doing, he will benefit, his section and himself. 2. The vote of two to one in the United States Senate, despite Charles Sune' protest, in favor of keeping the word "white" in the laws, is still more significant, than the eontenmptu ous rejection of WVhittenmoro, because ho represented negroes. It means that, say what fanatical fools may, the white people of the North are deter. mined to have a white main's govern ment, and that even the fiercest lRadi oats see it so elearly, that they are afraid of losing their seats in the Sen ate, anid that quickly, if they attemplt to carry their notions of no distino-. tion on account of race color and pre VioUs condition a singie step further. The country has conson ted to theexpe rimnent of negro egnality. Let the ne gro, if they knew their interests, prove worthy of it, else there is a storm brewing at the North that will sweep them down. What if, when that storm arises, the Southern white man is also an enemy. Take, then, colored friends, the adlvice of WVon dell Phillips, the life-time advocate of the froodom of your race, anid "vote not as llepublicans, niot as Dem ocrats ; but vote invariably as ne groes." And first of all, "as negroes," ohoose such black and white men for your representatives and champions, as command the respect of -Southern white men, and as will assert all of your just rights, in opposition to the selfish interests or oppreisive legisla tion of other sections of the Union. Our interests at the South are the same. Lot both raees unite for pur poses of equal justico and fair deal ing, and thus build up the fortunes and secure the glory of our common country. But if you cnn afford niot to do so, we can. A little patient waiting, if you prefer our enmity, will put you beneath our feet. Woe to your race, if you inconse us against you, for the day is near at nand, when the North wili l6ok'n ornlplacently, and even help us, while we trample you with Impunity. We have had just about enough of corrupt govern mont. There aist, pod thiere sr. 1 h'e a ohang, Trho wh~ole country, sick of your folly,' requires it. The whites arfattipl~y detertniihed to have it. Trheyoan earry their patienee not much further.. Come to your Benses What It Is to be a Radical. A Radical is one who believes that human niture in the black race is. pre. oibely like human nature in the white and that appat-ent differences are due to circumstances only ; that political distinctions, therefore, on account of race, color of previous condition, are dictated, not by reason, but by pre. judice ; and that the right to vote is a moral right, as inalieuablo as the right to life itself, belonging to a man, simply by reason of the fact that he is a wsan, a political anirmal, and not a brute beast. If a sincero Radical be pointed to the evils tbat sometime spring from suffrage, through the ig noranuce or viciousness of voters, as Whittemwore's reeleotion, for instaneo, he will not deny the fact, but will do ny that tho renmedy is to take away the right to voto. The right to vote ie, he would say, the right to exert political power that essentially in. heres in a political being with a po. litical nature ; just as the right to move about belongs to the physical man by reason of his being created for motion. The remedy for the wrong ube of power, either political or physical, is rather TO EDUCATE how to use it, than to take the power away. As the crime in the wroogu:se of physi cal force must be very heinous, to de serve physical death ; so, the perver sion of political poner must be of the most flagrant character, to deserve political death, or the deprivation of the right to exert political power. The ten conmandments must not be pronounced itnpracticable by -eason of sin, nor universal suffrage con dened because of its failure to real ize a political mnillenium. And it is the fact that the Radical political oreed is thus founded upcn a mngral basis, upon certain enthusiastic be liefs of what is just and right, and not simply upon convictions of conve nienco and utility, which gives it, and ever will give it a tremendous, and frequently, a revolutionary power. It is perhaps useless to say, that we are not Radical, if we have given a c-andid description of what it is to be a sincere one above. We no more re gard voting as an essential part of jus tice, than we regard the trial by jury as essential to justice. The one, like the other, is a means, a valuable expe dient towards attaining the end of all government, which is justice, but which may be - attained through or ganisms which exclude universal suf ftago and the trial by jury. Neither do we consider it a bit sounder phil osophy to say, that the same sort and amount of political power ought to be given to races living together, which differ in their mental and moral ea pacity, thaau to assert, that children and adults should have the same amount of choice in the disposal of their time, and in the regulation of their bodily locomotion or of their tongues. There arc places where "children should bo seen and not heard ;" and there are places where they shoulid not even he seen. In brief, just as in other spheres of thought and action, "circumstances alter eases," so, iu the political world, the wisdom and the justice of conferring political power or the right to vote on any individual or set of in dividuals, should be determined by considerations of time, character, race eolor and previous condition, and not by moral speculative abstractions. WVe consent, therefore, to negro suf fr age sincerely, but not, as8 does thec Rad ical, wvitfa at!icalpoliticalI faithi ; not as to something necessarily right and wise in itself; but as perhaps the best solution of the problem of the free negro, with which we are obliged to deal ; and as perhaps the best expe. dienit for avoiding oven greater evils than any that negro suffrage ena be suppod to involve, whena the cer taini prospect of the whites being soon able to harmonize with it, or that failing, to overpower it by steadily ~increasing numbers, stands clearly out to the eye that will glance from the present to the early future. And lastly, if the right to political power be a moral right, as real Radicals be lieve, thou, since there Is no distinc tion of sex in morals, and whut is right for a man is right for a woman, a eunaistent Radical cannot but be an earnest advocate of woman-suffrage, whtich we reject. We are not Radi cal. Hlow to Declre a Federal Policy. We have reiter ated our impression that a Federal poliey is absolutely ne. cessary, and the June Convention hauing declared none, we propose now to suggest how the donoienoy can be supplied. The Congressional nomin.ating aonventtion, should any such be held, oan lay down the prin oiples that the State is willing to Itbide by. Tie ehief dhtlieygy seenms to be, that sme toen prefer to call themselves Democa n mate.. principles they bold. Now whethe it will be best for the Soutberii State to act with the National Democraoc should the opposition prefeir the name in 1872, or not, need not ente into this canvass. *Let a carefull digested stateinent of principlea b put forth, and called neitbr by on name, nor by another, principle avoiding all minor points of differenof but covering the polioy that the yet ple are known to be willing to ''uj port. We will, with full confideno4 name but one-LOCAL 5ELF-oOVEeIU MENT,-Which some are disposed t maintain as A SovERzloN RoH'T, bu which others, who believe in consoli dation, favor as A PRiVILEGE 11 causelessly to be interfered with. I the platform consist simply of pledge to support honesty and ocono my in the collectio and disbursemen of taxes, and insist only upon th single principle of independent lan self-government, it will be far bette than having no Federal platform a all. The Stunter News. This paper, we must believe, unin tentionally, but persistently misrepre soots the Winnsboro Nxws ; as fo instance, in the following paragraph : "The Charleston News with its fol lowers, from the Courier down to thi avowed Radical paper published ii Winusboro, do not constitute "th Democracy of South Carolina ; neith er do the Confederate officers an former polittcians, who have "desert ed their post" and "proved fulse t the teachiugs of the fathers" of th republic." We have very warm persons friends in Sumter District, havin lived thero two years during the war and request our cotemporary, for th sake of common justice, to lay befor them our editorial above, "What it i to be a Radical," making upon I whatever comments it may please. Swindlers and Quacks. A paper published in New. Hamp shire has recently adopted a nove feature, which at once adds to attrac tiveness, and confers a benefit upoi the public. This new feature is i depnrtment styled the "Rogues' Cor nor., in which exposure is made of th< innumerable swindles, under the title "Gift Enterprises," "Wouderfu Discoveries," 'Universal Panaceas,' etc., by which the unsuspecting ar relieved of their superfluous dollars. In view of the peculiar readines with which the Southern people hav4 always consented to be robbed by thi swindling concerns which make theii homes in the Northern cities, w4 should like to see copies of this papei circulated through the South. In it columns some of the fondest delusion which our people have hugged to theli bosoms are denounced as unmitigate( rogueries and are exposed witi meroiless severity. Firms, to whosi add ress, poverty-stricken men ani women in the Bouth, in many in stances intelligent people, have sen their money, deluded by the promise so freely made, of fabulonis earnings i1 return, are held up to the public a no better than the thieves who fil the jails and penitentiaries of th land. We see no reason why this exam pl' of exposing swindlers shounld not b adopted, to some extent at all evente by the Press. Bly no other means cal the press be made more interesing and more valuable to the public, thau by hiunting down the countless fraud practised upon the credulity of th, people, and exposing themi n sparingly. Quacks and irnpostersao all classes should be put to shame wvherever the conductor of the pres has reliable assurance that their prac tices are not only emptying th, pockets; but also ruining the healti and corrupting the moral", of an over cred ulous people. This duty the pres seems to owe of the people, as part e its responsibility to maintain trut uphold right, and expose error.I is a weighty and dangerous assumption which the people themselves perhap would but poorly and partially appre elnte. But the time is coming, w, trust, when all these frauds aan humbuga will receive due severIty a the hands- of an honest and indepen dent pr ess.---Wilmuington Star.

I most, he came out with his back to a the animals. As he stepped out, the ) famous performing Mexican lion, g Charlie, jumped upon his back, crush. - ing him to the earth.
